Ok..I got it, thats the default behavior for Internet zone security. If you
want a bypass, in IE, Click Tools -> Internet Options -> Security Tab ->
Internet -> Custom Level -> User Authentication -> Automatic logon with
current username and password. But thats a security breach and shouldn't be
practised.
